parent-node 

Syntax

   parent-node(node)

Returns

Example

<xforms:setvalue ref="table/container/element/name"

							 value="local-name(parent-node(context()))"/>

Usage details

1. To use this function, you should include it in the functions attribute of the <xforms:model> tag.
2. This function provides the same behavior as the expression "ancestor::*[1]", except that the function operates in constant time regardless of the number of ancestors. Use this function with care; unless the axis is large, an XPath axis navigation is more efficient than a function call.
